re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1614
NetCDF has a requirement that the type of a _FillValue attribute
be the same as the containing variable. However, it is clear
that too many servers do not honor this requirement. So, change
the default for DAP2 and DAP4 to allow fill mismatch.
re: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1876
and: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1835
and: https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf4-python/issues/1041
The change in PR 1835 was correct with respect to using %20 instead of '+'
for encoding blanks. However, it was a mistake to assume everything was
unencoded and then to do encoding ourselves. The problem is that
different servers do different things, with Columbia being an outlier.
So, I have added a set of client controls that can at least give
the caller some control over this. The caller can append
the following fragment to his URL to control what gets encoded before
sending it to the server. The syntax is as follows:
````
https://<host>/<path>/<query>#encode=path|query|all|none
````
The possible values:
* path -- URL encode (i.e. %xx encode) as needed in the path part of the URL.
* query -- URL encode as needed in the query part of the URL.
* all -- equivalent to ````#encode=path,query````.
* none -- do not url encode any part of the URL sent to the server; not strictly necessary, so mostly for completeness.
Note that if "encode=" is used, then before it is processed, all encoding
is turned of so that ````#encode=path```` will only encode the path
and not the query.
The default is ````#encode=query````, so the path is left untouched,
but the query is always encoded.
Internally, this required changes to pass the encode flags down into
the OC2 library.
Misc. Unrelated Changes:
* Shut up those irritating warning from putget.m4
re: issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1151
Modify DAP2 and DAP4 code to handle case when _FillValue type is not
same as the parent variable type.
Specifically:
1. Define a parameter [fillmismatch] to allow this mismatch;
default is to disallow.
2. If allowed, forcibly change the type of the _FillValue to match
the parent variable.
3. If allowed Convert the values to match new type
4. Generate a log message
5. if not allowed, then fail
Implementing this required some changes to ncdap_test/dapcvt.c
Also added test cases.
Minor Unrelated Changes:
1. There were a number of warnings about e.g.
assigning a const char* to a char*. Fix these
2. In nccopy.1, replace .NP with .IP "n"
(re PR https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1144)
3. fix minor error in ncdump/ocprint
re: github issue https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1111
One of the less common use cases for the in-memory feature is
apparently failing with HDF5-1.10.x. The fix is complicated and
requires significant changes to libhdf5/nc4memcb.c. The current
setup is detailed in the file docs/inmeminternal.dox.
Additionally, it was discovered that the program
nc_test/tst_inmemory.c, which is invoked by
nc_test/run_inmemory.sh, actually was failing because of the
above problem. But the failure is not detected since the script
does not return non-zero value.
Other Changes:
1. Fix nc_test_tst_inmemory to return errors correctly.
2. Make ncdap_tests/findtestserver.c and dap4_tests/findtestserver4.c
be generated from ncdap_test/findtestserver.c.in.
3. Make LOG() print output to stderr instead of stdout to
avoid contaminating e.g. ncdump output.
4. Modify the handling of NC_INMEMORY and NC_DISKLESS flags
to properly handle that NC_DISKLESS => NC_INMEMORY. This
affects a number of code pieces, especially memio.c.
Specific changes:
1. Add dap4 code: libdap4 and dap4_test.
Note that until the d4ts server problem is solved, dap4 is turned off.
2. Modify various files to support dap4 flags:
configure.ac, Makefile.am, CMakeLists.txt, etc.
3. Add nc_test/test_common.sh. This centralizes
the handling of the locations of various
things in the build tree: e.g. where is
ncgen.exe located. See nc_test/test_common.sh
for details.
4. Modify .sh files to use test_common.sh
5. Obsolete separate oc2 by moving it to be part of
netcdf-c. This means replacing code with netcdf-c
equivalents.
5. Add --with-testserver to configure.ac to allow
override of the servers to be used for --enable-dap-remote-tests.
6. There were multiple versions of nctypealignment code. Try to
centralize in libdispatch/doffset.c and include/ncoffsets.h
7. Add a unit test for the ncuri code because of its complexity.
8. Move the findserver code out of libdispatch and into
a separate, self contained program in ncdap_test and dap4_test.
9. Move the dispatch header files (nc{3,4}dispatch.h) to
.../include because they are now shared by modules.
10. Revamp the handling of TOPSRCDIR and TOPBUILDDIR for shell scripts.
11. Make use of MREMAP if available
12. Misc. minor changes e.g.
- #include <config.h> -> #include "config.h"
- Add some no-install headers to /include
- extern -> EXTERNL and vice versa as needed
- misc header cleanup
- clean up checking for misc. unix vs microsoft functions
13. Change copyright decls in some files to point to LICENSE file.
14. Add notes to RELEASENOTES.md
